Supco SLT60 Thermostat

The Copeland Scroll ZP31K5E-TF5-830 is a high-efficiency 3-ton replacement compressor engineered for light commercial and residential R-410A refrigeration systems. This 5th-generation fixed-speed unit delivers a nominal 31,100 BTU/hr capacity and is designed for a 200/230V, 3-phase, 60Hz power supply. Built on the proven Copeland Scroll platform, this model features 70% fewer moving parts than traditional reciprocating compressors, significantly improving durability against liquid slugging and reducing vibration levels to a quiet 74 dBA.

For field installation, the ZP31K5E-TF5-830 utilizes sweat connections (3/4" suction, 1/2" discharge) and comes pre-charged with 25 oz. of Polyolester (POE) oil. Its internal inherent protection and internal pressure relief (IPR) valve safeguard the motor against thermal overload and high-pressure differentials. When performing a compressor burnout cleanup or a standard retrofit, technicians should verify that the application matches its high-temperature air conditioning profile and ensure the use of a molded electrical plug for secure terminal connection.

Key Benefits

• Optimized Efficiency: Designed to meet modern SEER standards with an energy efficiency ratio (EER) of up to 10.2.
• System Reliability: The scroll mechanism allows for start-up under any system load without the need for additional start components.
• Technical Durability: Robust design resists debris and liquid refrigerant damage better than standard piston models.
• Contractor Convenience: Compact 7.5" x 7.5" mounting footprint allows for straightforward drop-in replacement in various OEM chassis.

Common Questions

What is the lock rotor amperage (LRA) for this model?
The ZP31K5E-TF5-830 has a rated LRA of 73A, which is critical for sizing contactors and breakers correctly during installation.

Can this compressor be used in a heat pump application?
Yes, this model is rated for both air conditioning and heat pump duty, provided the system uses R-410A and the 3-phase power requirements are met.

Does this unit require a run capacitor?
No. As a 3-phase motor, the ZP31K5E-TF5-830 does not require a start or run capacitor; however, ensure the phase rotation is correct to prevent reverse scroll rotation.
